Donovan McNabb is mortal.
I think at this point, he is no longer "underrated", but he has never been overrated.
At times he has shown behavior befitting a GOAT; other times he has shown performance befitting a goat.
He made sunshine out of shit in his early years with the Eagles.
In retrospect, I see the NFC, outside of the Rams, and a few lucky breaks from some teams like the Succaneers along the way, has been total ass crack. Teams that were hot in the conference one year, were ass the next.
Case in point: the Colts led the greatest Ether in the NFL I've seen since the Oilers-Bills ETHER on the defending NFL champ Succaneers in 2003-04.
Case in point part II: the Seahawks ran an incredible defense to the Super Bowl in the 2005 season, and LOL @ them ever since, especially when Holmgren retired.
meanwhile, the only times the Eagles have missed the playoffs in the last 10 years was when they were so injury depleted and had no depth at key positions, they just blew rotten roadkill asshole. (2005, 2007)
Andy Reid sucks. I mean, yeah, he keeps jabronis in the playoffs, but if you micromanage his shit, he could stand to adjust the gameplan to the deficiencies of his players. In that regard, Eric Mangini is better, as he most recently recognized Derek Anderson couldn't complete a pass, so he'd let the running backs do their thing against a soft run D.
As an Eagle fan, I have appreciated his time of service with the Eagles, but realize that time is dwindling down, and the chances of a true "Elway-ish" finish isn't going to happen with the faggot-ass beancounters, and non-gambling jabronis that run the franchise nowadays.
McNabb has been something that the Eagles have lacked ever since Cunningham had too many season-ending injuries and was not given even more than a consistently competent offense to work with: a franchise QB. In fact, I'll even say that he was more so than Cunningham, because he at least worked with the gay-ass system he was handed (perhaps buying into it a little too much). Unlike some Eagle fans who fall victim to the inferiority complex that is placed upon them by the faggot-assed teams in the division who wax poetic on their (distant) past accomplishments, I am not moved. 11-5 with a team that should have gone 7-9 or 6-10 is better than the 3-13 doldrums of doom from 1998.
He hasn't won a Super Bowl. I don't really fault him for that, as the problems with the Eagles are bigger than he is.
I still stand by my "Peyton Manning without Addai and whoever" comment. Because Peyton Manning has choked in bigger games, at larger margins, and has bitched out on a bigger stage, but got none of the hate except from those who weren't paid to drink the Kool-Aid. The road to his Super Bowl win was mostly done by keeping him and his tendencies in check. If Andy Reid had the balls to do the same w/McNabb then maybe we wouldn't have this discussion every year.
I find it hilarious that we even do, because I'd love to hear what Donkeys fans had to say about Elway.
Just for shits and giggles, here are some comparisons for you box score reading dillweeds:
Elway's career completion percentage: 56.9
McNabb's career completion percentage: 59
Elway's TD/INT Ratio: 1.33/1
McNabb's TD/INT Ratio: 2.16/1
Elway's career passer rating: 79.9
McNabb's career passer rating: 86.5
Elway's career postseason W-L record: 14-8.
McNabb's career postseason W-L record: 10-8.
Elway got his ass whooped in big games, including the greatest Super Bowl Ether of all time against the 1987 Redskins.
He doesn't win those last two seasons, he's going to be talked about the same way as McNabb. 'Cism? Or just idiocy from the usual suspects.
Note that against the original "Team Favre", here were Elway's stats:
11/22, no TDs, one INT. Hardly the box score accompanying a goat, but a team that won despite the weaknesses of one particular player.
So you can yuck it up, and talk about "worm killers" and whatnot, it shows your inner fagginess when you do. Andy Reid is not the master of winning a game despite the weaknesses of the team that is handed him. Many SB winners are. Including the 2007 Giants. Eli Manning was lucky as shit that dude caught the ball on his helmet that day, and he has never the kind of "leader" that unrealistic fans wish McNabb to be. How many times have you seen that virtual 12-year old on the field look like he's about to have some slide-whistle accompaniment to his on-field foibles or thrown away the game on a Funball or 3?
As was said by one of the dillweeds here: the Pats don't get their Laserbeak/Buzzsaw on and we don't have this inane conversation.
To condense it all:
I don't think McNabb is underrated anymore, he certainly isn't "overrated", he just is....
...better than whoever else you can line up except a very short list in today's game.
PS - SPM, you suck, and I hope Allen Iverson breaks both his knees, faggot.
That is all. Yes, I'm mad. Let's move on.
